CitySolve Houston!

Today John, Lacey, and I competed in the Houston CitySolve Urban Race. It was sort of a picture scavenger hunt all over downtown Houston. It started with a question that every team could see, the answer to the question is the place where you got the questions packet for the rest of the race. They gave you a list of 10 questions (and two bonuses). You were required to complete 9 of the 10. When you had your nine you had to head back to the start. The picture checker asked which one was your skip, and then you got credit for the correct questions answers.
